lowered set up 2/3
 
hey everybody, i have searched through the photo index to no avail, i am looking for various angles/pics of any truck lowered 2 in the front,3 in the back? I have a 66c10 Long fleet which i am looking to lower with smaller coils, any info on ride quality etc would be great.

If you go ahead with that drop, post up some pics. I've been considering the same thing for a while now.

I tried to add a pic but failed. I can tell you however, that a 2/4 deluxe coil kit made my long/fleet almost level. The rake is very slight but still perceptable when the bed is empty. The kit came w/ a shock relocator kit and kyb drop shocks. The ride quality is great, and it doesn't bottom out easily. I also run a front sway bar from a squarebody which really helps in the curves. I got my deluxe spring kit from Early Classic. They're great folks.

I put 2 1/2 drop spindles up front and air bags in the rear, this is the result with 255/70/15 tires. I went this way cause spindles keep steering geometry same and rear bags give options of level,rake and load adjustable all with alittle more or less air pressure.Quite happy with results of look and ride

Very glad to see your post. I have 2.5" drop spindles and have been debating whether to go with 4" or 5" springs in the back. When I checked on ECE, I saw their basic bag system was about the same price so that got me thinking.

Looks like I need to bag the back.
